After Marius the giraffe was senselessly murdered at Copenhagen Zoo, another Danish zoo was trying to do the same thing!

But not anymore!

Jyllands Park Zoo posted on their Facebook on Friday that their Marius would live for the moment! The Zoo wrote:

“The European Association of Zoos and Aquaria (EAZA) have announced that Jyllands Park Zoo is not to recieve a female giraffe any time soon as part of the programme.

As a result of this we will of course keep both our giraffes, as we have stated all along. There is no plan, and there has never been a plan to neither move or euthanize any of our giraffes. The media stories are only based on a hypothetical situation, which we have answered questions about. This situation now seems to be eliminated.

Have a nice weekend :)”

Phew! That was a close one!

The EAZA confirmed that the zoo isn’t going to give Jyllands a female giraffe anytime soon because the zoo hasn’t asked for it. Also, they have no more room for breeding reticulated giraffe herds, so the organization would “not recommend the transfer of a female giraffe to Jyllands.”

Hopefully they NEVER give the zoo a female reticulated giraffe because we can’t handle another Marius death!

I must say as a Dane, I feel that the entire Marius situation has been well blown out of proportion. At first I too was horrified about the slaughter of a sweet, innocent young giraffe, but a friend of mine made me see the situation from a different angle. First of all the giraffe is not an endangered species, and the zoo did try to find a new home for Marius, but nobody had room for him. I must say I find it quite hypocritical for some famous animal right activists to come out of the wood work only after the fact, and say that they would have paid for his freedom and found him a new home. Secondly thousands of innocent sweet animals get put down every single day, because nobody will adopt them. I guess my point is, just as my friend pointed out to me, why should the life of a single giraffe be more valuable than the life of a cat or a dog. I think it's horrible that we 'execute' animals, don't get me wrong, but why do people get worked up over a giraffe, when this is an every day occurrence in most animal shelters. We should be just as upset about the thousands of other lives that are being taken every single day!

Wow, now Perezhilton is writing about Marius. OMG, how embarassing that people really don't get what really happened! IT was not a murder! It was an unfortunate killing, to do good for the animals on the long run and they had no choice other than to do that. Do your research people! But of cause, this is a gossip page - it is not supposed to be dealing with facts.. I see…

Re: Maria – I listened to Jack Hanna and he said there is never a good excuse for putting down a healthy animal. He has spent his lifetime working for animals and he said the slaughter of this giraffe was one of the top five most disgusting acts that he has seen in his lifetime. Senseless was the word he used. Thank goodness here in America only animals that are sick or seriously injured are put down like that.

Re: shaygirl1309 – Oh, well, then go save some of the thousands of swans in New York, that's about to get shot or gassed.
And, yes, I mean THAT New York, in America, where, thank godness no animals…I'll just stop quoting you…wouldn't want to make you look as stupid, as someone who would try and convince their burgermeat, that it has lived a long and happy life before dying of old age in an open field, before it magically turned in to processed flap of chopped up meat.

Earlier this week, actress Mia Farrow tweeted the address of Palmer's dental practice, and Lisa herself retweeted the office's number. But have their actions and the public backlash -- which has led to heightened security in Palmer's town -- been too much?
